Dublin residences under airport flight paths; negligence on behalf of airport, Irish transport, who?

I live in the area... it's rarely anywhere near as bad as painted out by some people to be.

So if you hear a plane overhead, you should be allowed to be rehoused? That sounds deadly, and a very workable solution.

The IAA updates the flight paths, not the airport. The most recent change has moved them closer to what was in the original noise profiling, e.g. the places that were always going to be hit with noise.

Many of those complaining knew they were going to be under flight paths, or just ignored everything about it. The north runway has been planned for about SIXTY YEARS, so the number of people legitimately unaware of it before they moved there is miniscule.

New runway was planned for 60 years. The land was bought for it 60 years a go. Every single person living near the airport or under the new flight paths knew full well what was planned and many bought houses in the near environs knowing it anyway.

I live next to a field which my father used to call the matrenity ward. Any cow that was due to go into labour is put into it, and they can moo all night before they give birth.

Which TD do I write to to get compensation and a new gaff?

Why do the media entertain these types of people in this country. As kermit says, the runway has been planned for 60 years, anyone who bought at house with 10km should have done their homework. No sympathy what so ever.

When I was growing up in Swords near the golf club the windows used to rattle occasionally for some flights (this was 45 years ago).

We didn't know we could get compo :)

On the plus side I sleep like a rock.

You are right. It is an emergency but if they closed the airport the same people would object to planning permission for housing on the basis that it was designated as an airport.

There was a group of families who were moved, during construction of the new runway. They were rehoused and well compensated.
